Sinopsis

"Hidden City Secrets" explores the captivating world beneath our feet, revealing the hidden tunnels, forgotten subway stations, and concealed spaces that exist just beneath the surface of iconic cities. This journey into subterranean exploration unearths the historical, architectural, and social narratives etched into these urban undergrounds. Learn about the evolution of infrastructure networks, from ancient aqueducts to Cold War bomb shelters, and discover how these spaces reflect the changing needs and priorities of city dwellers. The book presents a unique and tangible connection to urban history, offering insights into the ingenuity, aspirations, and fears of past generations.

 
Structured in three parts, "Hidden City Secrets" first introduces the concept of the "hidden city," then delves into specific types of hidden spaces like abandoned transportation systems and shelter spaces, using case studies from cities worldwide. Finally, it examines the modern-day relevance of these hidden spaces, exploring preservation efforts and their impact on urban planning.

    From the grandeur of the Great Plains to the solitude of the northern woods, from the intensity of a summer storm to the quiet redemption of a fresh blanket of snow, Kent Nerburn's Native Echoes pays homage to the power of the land to shape our hearts and spirits. 
     
    An Ojibwe elder once counseled Nerburn to "always teach by stories, because stories lodge deep in the heart.'' Using skills learned from Native storytellers as well as a deep reverence for the world's spiritual traditions, Nerburn takes us to an Ojibwe burial, down lonely winter roads, and into landscapes where trees have presence and the earth is made alive by the mystical power of water and light. 
     
    Native Echoes is a stark, poetic work that honors both Native American traditions and our western way of thinking and believing. NAPRA Review calls it a ''beautiful book that will touch not only those who find Spirit in Native American paths, but anyone who has felt the presence of something powerful beyond the known.''

    In this guide, I would like to give you an insight into keeping, raising and training your horse as a partner. The focus will be on the factor of natural handling. Basic theoretical knowledge will be conveyed with corresponding practical suggestions. Meanwhile, topics such as communication between humans and horses and species-appropriate husbandry will be addressed. Newcomers to the field of riding will gain an extensive insight into the mindset of the four-legged friends and equestrian "know-how". Experienced riders who are already taking their horses to competitions will also find everything they need, from a change of scenery in training to dressage lessons.
    For those working with young horses, the subject of training is dealt with extensively.
    I do not prescribe the "right" or "wrong" way to ride. This guide is merely a recommendation on how to deal with horses in a species-appropriate manner. I want to convey how you can encourage horses without forcing them to do anything unnatural and how you can spend time with them alongside riding.
    The overriding aim of all topics should be the joy of riding and harmony with the horse as a partner.
